Remember this shirt? Well, it’s getting loose on me. When I first bought it, the blouse was nicely fitted (see pic!), but it is starting to hang on me just a bit.  It’s a nice problem to have. . . . I just wish I had the funds to immediately replace it and the rest [...]

Lemon Chicken and Kale With Pecans

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Last night we created a fantastic home-made dinner sourced from two fairly simple recipes: lemon-marinated chicken and kale with pecans. The two dishes’ flavors paired together unexpectedly well, and both were recipes that even a novice in the kitchen like myself could put together. Win! I was so excited about eating the dinner that I didn’t [...]

It’s not hip to admit it, but I crave structure and routine on some deep, primal level. A big part of me wants an authority figure to put my trust in.

Last March, I signed up for a boot-camp-style fitness contest that I was sure was going to be my ticket to svelte. Spring was singing in Austin and I could hear the overture of summer in that little tune. Summer has been my nemesis ever since moving to Austin. It begins in May and lasts through [...]

The Weigh-in Weighing in at 160.5 lbs (a loss of 1.5 lbs) this morning, I was more than happy with my progress. I continue to steadily chip away at my extra weight, and next week I am hoping to break into the 150s! The losses each week aren’t necessarily stunningly mind-blowing, but they keep adding up. [...]

Why Green Eggs Are Good for Me

These are the eggs I bought this weekend at the downtown farmer’s market: You may not be able to tell from this photo, but the two eggs in the upper right corner are both a pale greenish-blue color. I love it! When I buy chicken eggs that have been gathered by hand on a nearby farm after [...]

Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about [...]
